The End-Time Virgins

Sunday, August 21, 2022

Messiah gave the parable of the ten virgins that was based on the ancient Hebrew Jewish wedding. These ten would be waiting with the bride because no one knew exactly when the groom would arrive. They had to keep oil in their lamps for any time the groom would come. Five virgins weren't prepared and their oil ran out at the time of the groom's arrival. There is a general principle here, also linked to the end times, because we are near the coming of Messiah. The end times means we have to be like the good virgins, the faithful ones. It is crucial for believers to keep that light of faith growing and standing strong because for many it goes out. It's easy to let your light get snuffed out. How? The love of God gets snuffed out by the world with distractions, money, or busyness. How do you avoid this? Get away from the distractions. Refill your oil in prayer, in the presence of God, in the Word and in rejoicing in Him. Refill your oil today and every day, and your light will shine bright through the end times.
